L.O.L. - Lack of Love

Post by **Christuserloeser** » Sat Mar 03, 2007 9:59 am

I noticed a blog entry that had a link to a YouTube video review about this game posted. Looks incredibly interesting!

The game seems to have amazing graphics and although it's only been released in Japan, you don't need to know Japanese to play it from what I've read and heard.

Have a look:

I imagine that it won't be easy to understand what the guy who's reviewing it is talking about, but I think I understood most of what he's saying.

I've been trying to gather all info that I could find on the web about this game over at DCS:

That was a great video. I always wondered what it was about ever since I read about it in official dreamcast magazine. Another game to put on my keep an eye open on ebay list

I loved the guys accent. A Scotish game reviewer, who would'a thunk it.

It was a brilliant game review. A must have game for the obscure and wierd, but brilliant game play and design.

I have been trying to figure out if you really need to have a strong grasp of Japanese to play this game.

Some people, like the Scottish guy in the video, say that you do not. Others do...

So if anyone has actually played the game please reply!

I couldnt figure out this game too much, but my friend loves this kind of stuff. so i gave it to him fo ra bit and he finished it rpetty fast. its quite interesting and the language barrier doesnt pose much of a problem.

I once read about this game being some sort of cult hit in Germany, when I can get a good deal on it, I'll get it myself. Seems like a special game worth having in my collection.

Interesting. I always thought Lack Of Love was a girlget game since it's listed as an ADV on all the game lists I've seen. Looks excellent, though. I always thought Seventh Cross Evolution was a great game concept poorly implemented, looks like LOL does the concept justice.

...word is bondage...

Just when I thought that I had seen all of the bizarre and crazy games on Dreamcast.

So was this ever released? That looks pretty badass, I'd love to give this game a go.

Hi, I've tried this game recently and I must say, it isamazing, reminds me of pikmin somehow, but even more inmersive.

BTW I can't save the game file...
Does this game has any vmu support?
If it does , how can the game be saved?
Or is it that is does not recognise any ofmy USA vmus?

Wow, this is quite a thread resurrection. Lack of Love is the only Dreamcast game I was interested in that I never managed to get my hands on (it was simply *impossible* to find by any of the usual means, for purchase or otherwise).

Neoblast · Post by **Neoblast** » Thu Jul 02, 2009 9:54 pm

I now know how to save, pretty dumb but it was said nowhere...
just rest on the rainbow octagoneandit will ask you to save...
Yes sorry for the zombie thread but this game is awesome....
